The top half of my front door has small, bowed, pains of glass.
It also has a brass knocker and a door bell.

So why is it then, that anyone who comes to my front door, has to wrap their knuckles on the glass!

Now, it wouldn't be so bad if they used the same pain of glass.........but oh no no no :-|

They obviously stand there and think.........oh look, that pain of glass looks all nice and shiney without any smudges, so let me wrap me grubby knuckles on that one why don't i. :-|

I am considering boxing in one of the pains and setting up a device where the next time someone sticks thier grubby little mitts on the glass, a boxing glove flies out on a sping at 100 mph and punches said person right between the eyes!

Or is that a bit too extreme do you think? :-D

Like it :-D

:-D :-D :-D

I can never work out why delivery men (and it is usually them) hammer on the door instead of ringing the bell. If I am upstairs I don't hear a tap on the door but I hear the bell.

We have a heavy brass door knocker on back door and a bell beside it - no bang on the patio doors. Front door - door bell - doesn't work mate OH was told last week - he pressed it and heigh ho - ding dong!

Aw tell me about it!!!

We have a knocker above the letter box and a second knocker above (it was a gift and I like it) but still we get knuckle knockers on the fabric of the door :-S :-S :-S
I swing the door open, stared pointedly at the two knockers and said "oh dear, aren't either of them working". They don't get it though :-\

Prickles, put a note on your door "use the knocker or the rottweiler answers the door"

Island, i am the Rottweiler! :-D

With all this talk about Knockers on the front doors ;-) I,m not surprised that they don,t want to bang them,very delicate things are,nt they :-D :-D.**M**.P-0ut a notice on, Please ring the Bell (Ding Dong.) :-D ;-) :-S

I get fed up with people pressing their faces up against the small window in my front door to see if there are any signs of life inside, leaving behind dribble or worse :-|

Thats what happens when you are so popular :-D.Apart from them being Nosey B***gers. :-D ;-)

Put a dollop of super glue on there Wend!!

That will teach um! ;-)

LOL what annoys me, is that when at night trying to find an address/house number...........most people put their number either where you cant see it from the road......or underneath a porch light, which renders it invisible.....!!
unless you have a searchlight in the car!!

Or a camera and give them a quick flash. :-D :-S ;-)

Prickles babes, you have my every sympathies in this matter.
I particularly dislike it when someone uses a coin, to knock on the glass panel of my FRONT door. Have they got no manners. Where I come from the only time you open the front door is when they are carrying your casket out. It's just like living in the 1950's Gorbals.
It sets off the dog, which sets off every other dog on the street. One of these days, I am going to let her out. Well, she is a terrier. Serve him bloomin' well right if she took a chunk out of his retreating a***.
So common, so common.

Wend, Ask Jiminy Cricket about smearing the inside of a chilli pepper on the glass. :-0 :-D
